The Tea Parties were a creation of the Ron Paul campaign. Only after the Obama election were they co-opted by the republican establishment. After that the message changed some and Palin worship by McCain voters ensued.

The new Tea Party isn't easily identified since many of the participants are RP republicans, small "l" libertarians, ex-liberals, anti-war folks, and of course died in the wool republicans who only started attending after Fox News started pumping the Tea Party. Those folks didn't like us RP folks at their primary caucuses one bit.

Ironically it was Fox News who excluded Paul from their New Hampshire Republican primary debate in 2007. Infiltrate and discredit,......it's a pretty good strategy.
